Service Guide
The functions of the SSA configurator are included in the SSA Configurator and
Service Aids Utility that is provided on the SSA RAID Adapter diskette for your
system.
You must use the SSA configurator to configure and attach SSA disk drives;
otherwise, the operating system cannot use those disk drives. You do not need to
run this configurator
if
you are configuring and attaching other types of device.
The diagram summarizes functions of the SSA configurator.
